Clara's Kit

My favorite sort of gift, is the sort that truly is a gift, and totally unexpected.
I tend to forget to send birthday and Christmas and other holiday gifts.
I often send birthday presents a month after the actual date.
This gift is for a small person, my cousin, whom I haven't met, but have heard of,
she is quite imaginative and fanciful, and I created this kit with the idea of supplying interesting pretty things that are made for creating and crafting...
